I have a building lot that evidently was at some point a Christmas tree farm. I have 15 rows of about 40 trees each. They are about 3 -4 ft. apart and are now about 5-10 " in diam. and average about 40' tall. These trees serve a purpose as a source of privacy from our road as well as a wind break from the nearby Chesapeake Bay.
We do not want to eliminate them but just thin them in a pattern which will be more useful. Originally I was going to cut every 3rd one but since the rows are not staggered this would just leave gaps. Then I thought eliminate every other complete row, but that does not relieve the crowding of 2 40' + trees right next to each other? Soooo! There must be a pattern that will work that I am missing! It kind of looks like this: It does not show up on the screen but there is a curved drive already cut thru all 15 rows about 2/3 on the right side!
